Alex couldn't understand it.
How could a woman who had been speaking proudly about her daughter yesterday claim to not know her the very next day?
It made no sense and further added to his worries that something was going on in Sklaviunt, something that had managed to stay under the radar for quite a while.
What it was, though, was lost to him, further adding to his annoyance.
The fact that Dolope's current state was somewhat similar to Leokhares' made him consider the possibility that both cases were similar.
Hopefully, Arwen would be able to find something in the library.
In the meanwhile, perhaps it was best not to rile up Dolope.
Just then, Dolope remarked. "Well, if that's all, I believe I should be taking my leave. We wouldn't want the auspicious time for prayers to pass."
"Agreed." Alex nodded as he stepped aside for Dolope to pass with Philo.
As the two made to leave, Alex suddenly remarked. "Miss Dolope."
"Yes?"
"Does the name Hermione mean anything to you?"
